Thanks TomiTapio for updating this and you keep updating the mod in the future.

OldGen notes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

_OldGenesis_ is a Dwarf Fortress mod by Deon, with loads of additions by TomiTapio.
Mod's roots go back to "DF Complete" by Deon, 2009. OldGenesis carried on Genesis 34.11 in fall 2012 while Deon went into an all-new Genesis 4.
TomiTapio updated this from 2012-DF to 40.0x during 2014-07-15 to 2014-08-07. Took 22-28 hours.

TomiTapio has added lots of:
- More tree species and three classes of wood: regular (value 1 birch, fir, cork oak etc.), fairwood (value 2 beech, yellow satinwood), goodwood (value 3 oak, mahogany, teak, maple, ebony, holly etc. real-life furniture woods.) So one can manage which logs go to furniture and which to fuel. Tip: designate with mouse which logs to dump away from the fuel-wood stockpile. Good wood is set to dark red.
     rowan, redwood, redcedar, hickory, holly, yellow birch, silver birch. loblolly pine, spruce, noble pine.
- New minerals based on Real Life (fluorspar, biotite(dark iron mica), migmatite, hornfels, greenstone, elvan, zeolite, syenite, scoria, pumice, augite, azurite, corundum, sphene, barite, pegmatite. Pink Marble, Pure[best] Marble, Black Marble[bitumin-darkened limestone] )
- animals (including boa, python, bronze statue, pelican, swan, forest cat, bulldog, mastiff, spaniel, giant otter)
- White Bronze (CuNi, 75% copper, 25% nickel) and Pentlandite ore (iron and nickel).
- bleeding and pain tuning, weapon tuning, flavor (add ice to swimming pool, feed excess meat to animals)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most civs have soundmessages. You'll hear war cries at bandit camps.
Try rock mauls and rock spears, at the stonecutter's.
Try 100 rock pots instead of barrels.

Grab TomiTapio's FINNISH language file for other DF use!

build a furniture workshop for wooden weapons. Ten wooden staves per weapon trap, bruise dem gobboes!
build a stonecutter/grinder workshop for some stone products. Ten rock clubs per weapon trap.

build a bonfire (a mini-mod by Warlord255) on cave grass or outdoors grass, you can start a grassfire. With wooden cages full of goblins.

reduced populations of civilizations, because that might give more FPS. Don't want 8000 kobolds in a single cave.

bismuth, bismuth bronze, cobalt are removed.

Use Charcoal Furnace workshop and its "charcoal the cheap wood", easy way to not charcoal the fairwood and goodwood.

2014-09-05:
- updated to DF .11
     - leaf, bud, fruit, flower, mushroom mat templates bulk-replaced
- added Black Diorite, it is a good dark stone for statues and rock pots. Very hard stone, difficult to work. Occurs in diorite.
- cobaltite is back as a weapon and armor metal. Should be relatively rare.
- a few more dwarven sounds and thoughts, for adventurer fun & realism. *burp*
- moose are grazers again, earlier they were war-trainable non-grazers.

You hear somebody muttering.
Universitas Bracamurus, Spearman: Hello Nervus.  Long live the cause!
You hear somebody swearing.
Odenithe Ofatequanefa, Dusk Elf Crossbowman: It's fantastic to see you!  I'm Odenithe Lengthcrafted.
You hear a quiet cough.
You spit.
Nervus Cestusvadus, Pikeman: Greetings Nervus.  Long live the cause!
Munus Dictobulbatio, Maceman: Hello Nervus.  Long live the cause!
You hear conversation.

cross-post again, because not everyone follows the ancient Genesis thread.

Moo moo crosspost chew chew. Apologies if anyone gets offended that this is not Genesis 5 or 4. This is Genesis 3.xx kept alive, and it is Good.

 
~-~ Dine at my white granite table? OldGenesis 40.13 has come! ~-~

Granite has been replaced with red granite, gray granite, white granite. Because granite is super common and does come in varieties.
Standard grazer on dem critters, except gigantic panda.
If you want more realism, tune the init file grazer param until four sheep require an acre (32x32 tiles). Or one horse per 32x32 tiles.

Toady on tile size:

Assuming gravity works like real world gravity and you can invent a time unit (obviously not linked to the dwarf mode calendar, which moves too fast for this), then a choice has been made.  It wouldn't make any fewer dragons fit in the tile though.  I think for the purposes of the minecarts it turned out to be 2m x 2m x 3m with 10 clicks / second, but it isn't that important or far-ranging in effect.

Do the Mind Flayer caste actually have the Mind Flayer body? If so, could I use them for a mod I'm creating?

Well, the basic illithid has       [BODY:HUMANOID_NECK:2EYES:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:E_4FACE_TENTACLES:RIBCAGE] which is just human with face tentacles. Some castes have wings and special weapons, see body_illithid.txt (in OldGenesis).

Void master has       [BODY:HUMANOID_NECK:2EYES:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:E_VOID_WEAP:E_FORCE_FIELDS:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:E_8FACE_TENTACLES:2HEAD_HORN:TEETH:RIBCAGE] force fields (layer of steel).

Probably Deon lets people use his creature creations, but let's wait for his reply.

[TomiTapio]

Crosspost from OldGenesis. (yeah Deon has no time to update Genesis Reborn.)

Sooo, is there not goin to be any more progress/updates on the G reborn? only old genesis by Tomitapio? I really love the adv mode features of Gen Reborn, and i dont know much about the old genesis, so whats in old gen that isnt or diferenciates from reborn may i ask?

[Deon]

I am currently working on a totally new mod called "The Fall" which should have all the major features of Genesis Reborn, just a different flavor. So if you were in for alchemy, different types of megabeasts, adventure mode crafting and research system (now it won't be just for fort mode, but for adv. mode too) then you should like it.

[Sodrak Obintohe]

Ah great!! I would love to see mods in these directions, one of the things that i loved about genesis is how it adds to adventure mode, while also adding about the same to Dwarf mode, i play alot of adv and i surely loved that you can mine, chop(Your trees can no longer keep you safe elfs!) and craft in adv mode, and i hope that such new things  be also possible.

I also think that the game could use some more of immersioning features, because most of the events that happen in the game legends wich affect the adv mode and also fortress leave the player not giving any shit about nothing, like if the humans and the elfs somehow start a war (wich are extremly short) with humans, you really never get to be afected by any means, there could be ways to interact with both civilizations and profit from their weak times like selling war gear for higher price to one of the factions in the conflict wich would affect relations with both the factions on the war.it would be awesome to see civilizations with solid political situations, i am tired of seeing human armies marching on the same civilization territory because of petty conflicts inbetween the site governments groups.

I have no real experience with modding and idk the actual limits to modding DF, but i would love to see lords and powerfull ppl acting rationaly.
